Andrew McCutchen had three hits, including an RBI single during a decisive four-run seventh inning, as the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied for a rare victory over the Chicago Cubs and Jake Arrieta, 8-4 on Friday night.

John Jaso's RBI single tied the score at 4-4 and chased Arrieta (12-4), who had beaten the Pirates in all three previous starts this season and entered with a 9-1 career record against them. The Cubs had also won eight of the first nine meetings with Pittsburgh this year.

Josh Bell then scored the go-ahead run from second base when first baseman Anthony Rizzo fielded Gregory Polanco's ground ball and threw wildly to reliever Travis Wood, who was covering first base, for an error.

McCutchen followed with his RBI single and Starling Marte drove in the inning's final run with a grounder.

Neftali Feliz (3-0) gave up a solo homer to Rizzo, and Mark Melancon - the sixth Pittsburgh pitcher - got the final out for his 27th save.
